Please ensure you are informed about the risks before making your purchase.

What is “Hanging Weight” (HW)?Refers to the weight of the beef carcass after removing the head, hide, and entrails, but before it is cut into individual portions. It’s important to note that hanging weight is not the same as the total pounds of meat you will receive. During processing, the carcass is further trimmed and divided into cuts, with some weight lost to bone and fat. On average, you can expect approximately 60-70% of the hanging weight to be returned as packaged, ready-to-cook beef.
